    Racecraft 9th October, newby question

    G'day,

    So I'm in group 1 for my first track day on 9th Oct (racecraft). I don't really know anyone else who is into bikes or going so am flying solo, and will be riding my bike to the track so I won't be able to take a jerry can to top up. Just wondering if anyone with trackday experience could say if I might have enough petrol to last the day if I filled up at the nearest servo beforehand? I've got a ducati 848, so unfortunately its only got a 15 litre tank which is probably less than ideal.

    Apologies if this is a dumb question. I did read on the info form I've been sent that you should take extra fuel, but hoping I might be able to get away with it. If not might have to cut the day short I spose. Any words of advice greatly appreciated. Can't wait for the day and hoping to meet some good people !!!!

    Speaking nicely to some people who are going, and will probably say so in this thread, and you may be able to get fuel taken for you...

    Failing that...15litres, 848 being thrashed...

    I see you running short of fuel...

    G'day Rich,

    cheers for the reply mate, yeah I was thinking someone might say I'd run short. I'd be eternally grateful if anyone going could help me out !!! I live in Doubleview so if anyone going lives anywhere north of the river and had any spare room, and wouldn't mind if I dropped a jerry can off beforehand at a time to suit you I wouldnt be able to thank you enough!! In fact I'd shower you with chocolates and coffee and burgers etc from the cafe. Thank you so much if someone can help, I hate to ask ..... cheers

    Maybe even just exchange a 6 pack for few liters off some of they boys that take extra fuels that way you don't have to catch up hand over fuel cans ect

    EVERYONE loves a beer at the end of the day
